Embody a mage commander and unleash chaos on the battlefield by summoning hordes of creatures and casting powerful spells in this multiplayer game where strategic play, skill, and creativity are rewarded.

Will you be a Spellcaster they fear, or one they worship?

In a unique blend of third-person action and strategic decision making, challenges players to master both movement and magic to dictate the pace of the battle. Each match is played as a 3v3, fast paced 25-minutes showdown across mystical arenas of epic scale and verticality, where teams must capture altars to gain territory and destroy their opponents’ Lifestones to claim their victory. Players will step into the fight as Spellcasters, archetype-driven mages with distinct identities, defined roles, and signature abilities, capable of summoning hordes of creatures and casting powerful spells. Infused with magic, each Spellcaster can take to the skies and fly freely across the arena at any moment in battle to command the battlefield, unlocking a level of movement freedom rarely seen in the genre.

Spellcasters Chronicles sets itself apart thanks to its strategic deck-building system. Whether players choose a support, tank, or damage dealer archetype, they will be able to choose from a list of more than 50 spells and summons, bringing tactical adaptation and creative expression into the arena. Additionally, players will also have to choose one of the world-crushingly colossal ultimate summonses, The Titans, a high-sized and powerful creature capable of shifting the tide of battle. This hybrid of archetype-driven design and customizable decks makes every match in Spellcasters Chronicles a strategic battle, rewarding experimentation and team synergy.

In addition to its competitive core, Spellcasters Chronicles will introduce a singular approach to how stories are shaped in multiplayer experiences. This community-narrative aspect of the game will be introduced in the coming months.

Quantic Dream announces the first Closed Beta Weekend of Spellcasters Chronicles, beginning on December 4 at 15:00 UTC and ending on December 8 at 09:00 UTC. 

This marks the first online opportunity for players from Europe and North America to experiment with the studio’s first-ever multiplayer team-based free to play game. The Closed Beta will take place on Steam, with access granted to players who register and are selected to join this first test phase.

Following a limited hands-on demo showcased at TwitchCon San Diego earlier this year, this Closed Beta introduces an expanded gameplay experience, including six playable Spellcasters, the Mausoleum arena, and access to a first selection of spells and creatures to experiment with the deck-building system. With 11 creatures, 8 spells, 2 buildings and 2 titans available during this initial phase, players will be able to craft and test unique strategies while exploring Spellcasters Chronicles’ core gameplay experience. 

Each Spellcaster embodies a distinct archetype, defined by the way they interact with the deck-building system and reshape the flow of battle. These archetypes ensure that every deck composition feels meaningful, their passive strengths naturally guiding players towards certain spells, creatures, and building combinations, allowing each deck to express the identity of the chosen Spellcaster:

• The Swamp Witch excels with swarm decks built on expendable summons and late-game scaling. 
• The Astral Monk thrives with burst-damage and offensive spells. 
• The Iron Sorcerer is ideal for structure-focused decks that emphasize lane control and durable armies.
• The Fire Elementalist drives aggressive gameplay, fast-cycling fire decks, and plays best in the hands of mobile players. 
• The Mystic Scribe excels in supportive, sustain-oriented decks. 
• The Stone Shaman shines in defensive control decks that reinforce lanes and hold ground.

This Closed Beta will help the studio refine the game through player feedback. A second Closed Beta, featuring expanded content, new Spellcasters, arenas, incantations, and summons, will take place early next year as Spellcasters Chronicles continues its journey toward Early Access. Each new phase will introduce additional gameplay features and unveil more about the world and the community-driven narrative of Spellcasters Chronicles.

“We built Spellcasters Chronicles as a game that thrives on adaptation, creativity, and team synergy, and that only truly comes to life once players get their hands on it,” said Gregorie Diaconu, Game Director of Spellcasters Chronicles. “Opening the servers for the first time is such an exciting moment for the team. It’s the beginning of a dialogue we’ve been eager to start; we want to listen, to iterate quickly, and to shape the experience together with our players. Spellcasters Chronicles represents a bold creative step for the studio, and this testing phase marks the start of that shared journey. This first Closed Beta weekend is the opening chapter where your feedback will directly influence the game, from combat pacing and tech stabilization to deck-building balance and beyond. We’re inviting players to experiment, surprise us, and tell us what feels right.”

Players who want to join the Closed Beta can register directly through the Spellcasters Chronicles Steam page, or via the official website. If they do not receive access for this first session, they will remain eligible for the upcoming beta.
